Hi girls

I am 16 weeks pregnant and having amniocentesis done next week and I am terribly constipated. Before I got pregnant 6 prunes in the morning used to do the job, Yesterday I took 28 and I so far nothing is happening. Please help.

My doctor has recommended Coloxyl with senna, however the pharmacist says that senna could stimulate the uterus and I have been given Glycerin suppositories instead.

I was wandering if any of you have been in the same situation and also what do you take to correct constipation safely.

thanks,
Paris
